But then, as we were walking, I spotted something or rather someone nearby.

It was Dander, with his trophy. What was he doing? Is he planning something? I secretly looked at him, and I watched as he made a portal appear. I didn’t tell my friends, I didn’t feel like it. Because then maybe it would alert him to know we are there.

Then, Dander jumped in the portal. Without thinking, I ran towards him.

“Hey Ich, where are you going!?” I could hear my friends yelling behind me.

I ignored them and jumped into the portal after Dander, having no idea what he was doing or where he was going.

?

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in a cave. I looked around some more, and I was behind a rock.

“I have the trophy.” I heard Dander say.

“Good, finally I will be free…”

I spotted a staff on the floor. I remembered that staff from somewhere, but I can’t remember from where.

“Alright…” Dander said.

He set the trophy on the floor.

“I wish…” he began, “I wish that the guy in this staff becomes free.”

Then, the staff started to move rapidly. It shaked a lot before I was blinded by a bright light.

“YES! I’m FREE!”

I looked and I spotted a familiar person… It was Gar. He was back.

“Now…” Dander said, “what is that thing you were talking about earlier?”

“Oh yes, I’ll explain.” Gar said, “that stone is called the Elite Stone. It is a very special stone that is rare, and it is important to a lot of very powerful Ultimates. It’s even important to the Ultimate Council.”

“Then it is really really important.” Dander said, “keep going.”

“Right. So… The Elite Stone… There are more. Not just one. There are four of them. The Ultimate Council has two of them, and I sensed that someone had found the third one and is bringing it to The Ultimate Council.” Gar continued, “and we have time to get the last one. While I was in that staff, I absorbed something by the way, and it gave me this knowledge. It also gave me a lot more power… I am not Gar anymore, I am something new. I am a new Gar.”
